Since April 1, in Ukraine, polyclinic visitors will be offered to sign a contract with a family doctor. The family doctor can later be changed many times, but it is not profitable for Ukrainians to abuse this right.

This was told on the air by ObozTV member of the Public Council at the Ministry of Health of Ukraine Yevgeny Gonchar.

"In the clinic that you visit, you will be offered a memorandum - a contract with a family doctor or pediatrician. You can not restrict people in their right to choose a doctor, even if someone abuses it. The quantity will not be regulated, you can at least change every day. Another question is what is the point, "he said..

Gonchar also noted that the migration of patients will not significantly affect the salaries of doctors.
